Re: [OT] Shocks in a large market. How to check ESD direction?
Same here, at the close by Walmart. If I hold the handle so I touch the metal I do not get the shocks. But let a gap form and Whammo! But not always, so cart differences, humidity differences?

Re: [OT] Shocks in a large market. How to check ESD direction?
I too have dealt with shocks from the cart at my grocery store. I
attributed it to the cart building up charge by rolling. A good test might

You're welcome, Tom, but I can't claim knowledge here, I just looked it up in the manual. I am pretty good at that. ?

I use a 196 regularly and it's my bench standard when doing calibrations on other gear. It the only one that gets a professional cal annually.

Re: Keithley anyone?
I've done this with a bunch of PNP Ge transistors that had developed internal shorts from tin whiskers. I used a AA battery to drive current thru the whisker and "fuse" it. To do this, you MUST apply
